to Dad:

ya his name is pronounced eye zit. one lady called him eezaat, it was funny. that was at the first trc. oh and i guess my district will write home and have their parents invite us as freinds on FB, so if anyone like merrill or izatt, or mousley.. idk who for sure. kinda funny today at the temple in the initiatory waiting line, there was a big hawaiian dude who's back hurt and i had to stand on his back to try to pop it, he's got a thick back. i couldn't get anything, then when i sat back down i told my friends that that doesn't happen everyday. haha.

also, i LOVE playing volley ball, the other day i was playing and i got smashed in the face by the ball, TWICE! ahah by the same guy too, it was elder merrill, he was trying to save the ball after i hit it and it went straight into my face. ha the second time i went and sat down cuz i was laughing so hard, and everyone thought i was hurt. but i was fine. then at "home" elder mousley said my nose was a bit red, and i thought it was just a bruise, but turns out my nose guard thing on my glasses cut me and i was bloody. but just a bit. i'm fine. it was fun. also earlier i cut myself trying to open a bottle. fun times.

i'll just call when i get to the airport, which might be around 4 in the morn. idk. cuz if we have to be out of here by 3, idk when i'll call.. i didn't really want to so i don't have to go through all that stuff, i'd just write you from NY. anyways- see ya-

to Mom:

well i leave monday morning, so i won't get it if it doesn't come on saturday. anything you send. also, i can't remember if i told you i saw geoff at the temple. and got some pics with him. and i was thinking idk if i want to send home my sd card cuz there's really nothing much on it. but i guess i should anyway. oh haha something funny this morning- on the wall outside our room someone posted red letters saying " the chamber of secret has been open" ya i know they missed some letters, but the idea was great. i took a pic as well. as for the pics on the card, i have stories behind them, so i'll try to remember to write them to correspond with each picture. it's hard when so much goes on here.

i really don't know if i have my mission home address here with me. i'll have to look through everything.

i have 4 friends here now, plus 4 other kids i kinda know from school or what not. like institute and high school. but the real friends are Kenna McKay-Korea, Emily Spencer-Russia, Geoff Parsons-Cali, and Janna Weaver-Baltics.

there's a sister perkins here that i swear i've seen her before, she's more like an islander person, but i don't know what island she's from, or whatever.. but she asked if we (from spanish) know her brother sam. and i knew a sam perkins, but not hers.. but anyway i was with her in lunch line and she was in her "speak your language" week, which is hungarian. and she wanted more gravy on her food, and i had to try to translate for her to the lunch lady, and that was fun but hard, i was guessing plate, cuz she was pointing to the plate, and i guessed chicken and corn and i couldn't figure it out. but then after the lunch lady was like, what language was she speaking, but i said i can't remember. but it was funny.

I got some more french names in initiatory today, three from france, one from netherlands (born in 1760 too!) and one from arizona.. i don't know why they have one easy name and 5 hard names, like francois victor jean sauce, and oh i can't remember the fist name of the netherlands guy, but last name was gervink.

well i've said i'll can think of, to both mum and dad. so i guess the next time i talk to you will be in the early early morning of monday. haha -
